Labels for Watches

Labels for marking watch cases, watch straps and wristwatches of all kinds

The eXtra4 range of watch labels focuses on the labelling of wristwatches. In general, our wide range of jewellery labels can be used for the labelling of wristwatches. Among the various label types in the jewellery segment, there are solutions such as labels with loop, labels with thread or label combinations, the dimensions of which are already suitable for wristwatches and can be used as watch labels without further changes.

Special labels for wristwatches

Certain requirements concerning watches make specific watch labels necessary: A watch collection should be labelled with one and the same label despite the fact that it has wristbands of different widths; leather and metal of watch bands must not come into contact with adhesive; watch cases must be labelled directly without damage - special cases of this kind require special solutions. Then eXtra4 proves to be a creative partner for the development of a reliable watch label with its diverse production possibilities and comprehensive know-how.

For individual watch labels, we work with our customers to develop a solution that is precisely tailored to their needs. However, the ideal watch label should not only function technically, it must also satisfy design requirements. For the representative look of our watch labels, we colour materials in any shade, print logos in specific company colours or add highlights with a metallic shiny embossing.

The watch label - an exclusive solution

Labelsfor watches are usually manufactured individually to the customer's special requirements. Labels exclusively for wristwatches are therefore only occasionally available from stock. However, it is possible that particularly popular jewellery label shapes are also suitable for watches. We therefore recommend interested parties to also consider our stock range of jewellery labels for watches. Our catalogue for shapes and dimensions offers a more extensive selection of watch labels. It shows which special shapes we have already manufactured for watches and which are available as tools ready for production.

Labels for watch cases

Labels for watch back and watch glass

Watch labels for the case back usually have a round shape. Our stock assortment consists of white or transparent plastic foil composite, which can be marked with individual data in the thermal transfer printer. Two different adhesive variants are available: permanent adhesive or removable. For rectangular shapes, please see our range of labels for pads in the jewellery sector.We use watch labels without adhesive as scratch protection for watch glass, watch back and complete watch cases. The transparent plastic material adheres by adhesion and can therefore be removed and repositioned without leaving any residue. Text or logos can also be printed here.

Leather strap labels

Labels for watchstraps made of leather

Leather strap labels are used both for labelling a complete watch and for labelling separate, unmounted watch straps without watch cases.They usually have the shape of a loop label. To prevent staining or soiling the leather, the loop is kept glue-free. The leather strap label is attached by looping the label loop around the first strap loop, gluing the loop tip into the label fields before folding and inserting the folded label under the second strap loop. Labels for leather watch straps in special sales packaging are developed custom-made for each manufacturer or retailer according to the requirements of the relevant POS system.Leather strap labels ideally consist of tear-resistant plastic material composite with permanent adhesive. This ensures that the label can withstand multiple presentations of a watch during sales without damage. Labels for leather watch straps have a particularly representative effect with an imprint in coporate colours of the manufacturer or retailer and can be imprinted with individual prices, barcodes or other data in the label printer via thermal transfer printing.

Metal strap labels

Label for watch straps made of metal

Metal watch straps traditionally have been labelled with wrappers made of paper laminated with aluminium foil. They could be shaped like metal, i.e. simply adapted to the bandwidth, kept, once bent, their shape and were fitted firmly without any glue. Today this type of material is no longer available for cost and environmental reasons, but could also not be printed with individual data.

Today, banderoles made of adhesive materials, such as self-adhesive plastic films and papers, replace the legacy label type. In contrast to aluminium-paper wrappers, modern metal watchband labels can be printed as required - with logo imprint in specific corporate colours and with individual data including barcode via a thermal transfer label printer. To a certain extent, the bands can also be adapted to different widths of watch bands. After printing, labels for metal watchbands are folded in the middle and both halves are glued together. Folded in this way, a strip remains adhesive on one side of the label. Now the banderole is placed around the watch band, shortened as required and closed with the still adhesive end.

Watch labels for threads

Labels with thread for wristwatches

From the range of tags in the jewellery sector, labels type "WrapTag" in combination with security threads are particularly recommended for labelling high-quality watches. With self-adhesive thread labels of WrapTag shape, two additional label areas made of glossy, transparent film enclose the printed labelling fields as soon as the label has been folded. The tag looks heavier, is stronger and is less susceptible to dirt, damage or manipulation. WrapTags are also suitable with inserted transponders as part of an RFID solution.

WrapTags can be reliably fastened with security threads from our product range. Security threads consist of tear-resistant synthetic fibre cord with a special locking mechanism. Once closed, the lock cannot be reopened.Of course, other labels with thread from the jewellery section can also be used to label watches.

Label combinations for wristwatches

Combination of different shapes to a label set for watches

Wristwatches from the upmarket segment often have individual, high-quality boxes. For labelling, this means that watch and box must be labelled with a matching label. Label sets from our range of label combinations for jewellery are particularly recommended for this purpose.Labe combinations unite different types of labels on the carrier web to form a set of shapes so that this can be marked with data simultaneously in a single printing process. The label set combines very different shapes, usually a loop label with a rectangular shape. However, combinations with other label types, such as thread labels, are also possible.

Security labels for watches

Tamper proof watch labels

Security labels for wristwatches protect against manipulations. They are useful wherever expensive original watches are threatened to be replaced by inferior counterfeits, i.e. in goods traffic in general or in an event of trick thefting during sale. In commerce, especially online, security labels can be used preventively against returns fraud: With a clear worded imprint, they prevent consumers from wearing watches, then returning them and reclaiming the price.

Security labels destroy themselves even at the slightest attempt to remove, open or reposition them. Their self-destructive material splits into layers, falls into tiny particles or tears. The label can therefore never be reassembled and reattached again or to other goods. Holograms and black light printing additionally increase the protective effect. They make the label forgery-proof.Security labels can be produced in any shape, for example as loop labels, but also in any other label shape suitable for wristwatches

Further technical details on security labels can be found in our separate section Security Labels / Guard Labels.Labels with transponders as part of an RFID system offer a completely different kind of protection. Due to the necessary interventions in the sales organisation, we recommend an RFID solution only after detailed consultation. Interested parties can find a first insight into RFID technology under RFID Labels.
